How to improve logical thinking skills

1. Read more to provide fertile ground for thinking. The root cause of poor thinking ability is lack of experience, insufficient knowledge accumulation, and narrow vision. Therefore, you should read more and study more to increase your knowledge. The sources of knowledge include reading, experience, communication with people, etc. Among them, reading is a simple, extensive, and systematic way to increase knowledge, and it should be paid attention to. In terms of reading accumulation, the reasonable use of speed reading methods is very helpful to improve the efficiency of inputting knowledge.

2. Carry out thinking exercises through writing. After reading and learning, you will also need to use methods such as writing to organize your thinking, strengthen your understanding, integrate various knowledge, and gradually upgrade your thinking. Writing is equivalent to organizing one's own thinking. Spending time constructing an article that others can understand is actually training one's own thinking and organizational skills.

3. Guide thinking through questioning exercises. Thinking needs guidance, and self-questioning is a good way. When asking yourself questions, don't just ask one question and end it, but keep asking. In the process of asking yourself questions, it is recommended to actually write them down (either words or graphics) to visualize your thoughts. For example, when you read a point of view, you can ask yourself: Why did the author approach it from this perspective? How did the author arrive at this conclusion? What are the shortcomings of this conclusion? How could it be better if I wrote it?

4. When explaining your opinions and ideas to others, you must understand structured thinking. For example, using PREP's logical production model, simply put: first state the conclusion (P), then state the reasons or basis to support the conclusion (R), then state specific cases that can support the conclusion (E), and then reiterate the conclusion ( P).

5. Practice thinking skills by "sorting out movies". Most people prefer to watch movies. In this case, we might as well spend some time after watching the movie to sort out the plot and main line of the movie (suspense, science fiction, crime movies or books are better because they They all test your thinking, especially logical thinking).

6. Learn some memory methods and mnemonic techniques. The purpose of learning memory methods is not necessarily to memorize, it can also help us exercise brain tools. Because in the process of training memory, we need to give full play to our imagination and association abilities, and transform numbers, words, and images back and forth, which has a certain training effect on our logical thinking and image thinking. For example, the "coding and positioning memory, poker memory, mind map memory" and other training in the "Elite Speed ??Reading and Memory Training Software" I just mentioned. If necessary, or if you have time or interest, you can practice.
